Matt K Von and Jonny Castro, an Australian duo originating from Newcastle and Adelaide respectively, met two years ago at a boring shindig. After thirty minutes they left the less-than-party, went home, got arty and made their first track, ‘Can’t Get Better Than This’.

Previous to this less-than spectacular meet, Matt worked as an Avionics Technician in the air force, working on jet fighters (hence the name Parachute Youth).

Here is the official video for the duo's tune "Can't get better than this".

King Zigg Zag is back with yet another beat tape. This one has some serious grooves!

In his own words...

"Probably one of my better works yet.. or at the very least, my best since Mobster Mash in 2010. I focused a lot on bringing a much clearer, higher powered sound quality.. and beats that knock hard. I also spent a lot more time working on some remixes, so only the first half is instrumental. The second half contains remixes from Redman, Sean Price, Gotham Green, Freddie Gibbs, Tha Dogg Pound, Inspectah Deck, Lil Wayne & Mya. I hope you enjoy."

Morning Parade is a five piece band from the UK. They are about to release their debut album on Astrelwerks. They have a great uplifting feel about them (think Coldplay, to me that is not a bad thing).

Here is their video for 'Us & Oursleves'.

Their first single, 'Headlights', comes out in March and the debut album follows in June. They are opening for The Kooks now and you should expect to see them headlining shows pretty soon.

Reilly Steel is an up and coming DJ/Producer from San Francisco. With original releases forthcoming on Top Billin and Senseless Records in addition to his Rock It Science Laboratories debut and remixes out on Trouble & Bass (as the winner of the T&B remix contest) and We Do It, he is definitely an artist to watch over the next year.

Belleruche release their debut single ‘Stormbird’ from their forthcoming fourth album ‘Rollerchain’ due for release on Tru Thoughts label this coming May.

At only three minute, this dual vocal line, tempo shifting distorted oddity is unlike Belleruche's previous work, but draws from the same source of musical inspiration. Like a subbass driven pop song with clipped drums and feedback lops, 'Stormbird' grabs your attention and runs away with it.

Belleruche have evolved five years of broken blues, electronic punk and turntable soul into a sound so diverse, it merges to create a standalone genre all of its own. The three-piece formed from the unlikely combination of a jazz singer, turntablist and rock guitarist began their journey in the back rooms of London pubs swiftly moving forward to touring the globe and now play to sold out venues nationwide.

Belleruche hit the road this May, touring throughout the UK and France and then festivals throughout the summer.

This seamless blend takes us into heads down territory for a run of superlative cuts reassembling recent clubbing history into a whole that effortlessly transcends the sum of its parts. Dissecting elements of Flux Pavillion, Stanton Warriors, Doctor P, Umek, Muse & Nero and assimilating them into a world of fierce subs, cavernous beats and incessant leads, before stitching them back together with consummate ease.

In all sixty-two mash-ups have made their way into Elite Force’s sets since the advent of ‘Revamped’, with 19 of these making the final ‘RVMPD2’ mix. We can now reveal that almost all of these tracks will be available as *FREE DOWNLOADS* with one new track being added each Tuesday from the official download page, launching TODAY and running well into June!"
